Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of programs. Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do, let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a computer to do.

If a man's eye is on the Eternal, his intellect will grow.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I wrapped my Christmas presents early this year, but I used the wrong paper. See, the paper I used said 'Happy Birthday' on it. I didn't want to waste it so I just wrote 'Jesus' on it.

Demetri Martin

We live, I think, in the century of science and, perhaps, even in the century of physics.

Polykarp Kusch

A man never reaches that dizzy height of wisdom that he can no longer be lead by the nose.

Mark Twain

A mathematician believes that describing the speed of Mercury with equations amounts to science.

Bill Gaede

There is no question but that if Jesus Christ, or a great prophet from another religion, were to come back today, he would find it virtually impossible to convince anyone of his credentials despite the fact that the vast evangelical machine on American television is predicated on His imminent return among us sinners.

Peter Ustinov

Just because you've lost doesn't necessarily mean you've failed.

Source Unknown

The muses are ghosts, and sometimes they come uninvited.

Stephen King

Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. God will see that you do not want society.

Henry David Thoreau

One definition of man is an intelligence served by organs.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I look into his eyes and jump off of a high dive plunging deep into the pools of green staring back at me. No matter how hard I fought it, no matter how unreasonable or out of control it feels and no matter how much I try to reason it away the truth in this moment is that Jonathan Hayes owns me heart and soul.

Kathryn Vance-Perez

If I'd gotten the job I wanted at Montgomery Ward, I suppose I would never have left Illinois.I've often wondered at how lives are shaped by what seem like small and inconsequential events, how an apparently random turn in the road can lead you a long way from where you intended to go--and a long way from wherever you expected to go. For me, the first of these turns occurred in the summer of 1932, in the abyss of the Depression.
